I've been getting large acne pimples that turn into watery boils right on my koochie all summer long. I work all day (sitting) in a warm warehouse office and I'm sure that has exacerbated the problem. I've been treating them by having my husband squeeze them and then clean the area with witch hazel. It works but I wish there was something I could do to prevent them from occuring in the first place. Does anyone else have this problem and found anything that works for you?

I used to get them. What has worked for me:

- No sugar/sugary foods (sweets, chocolate bars, etc...)
- No refined carbs (white bread, white potatoes, etc...)
- More veg/fruit and lean proteins
- Cinnamon (500 mg a day)

Haven't had one in over two years.

Search this forums for Hydradenitis suppurativa for advice from other cysters.

Thanks Mariela. Come to think of it, it does get better when I follow a low-carb diet. Just one more reason to stick to it!

Mariela

no worries. hope it helps!

but yeah, another reason to eat healthily, the boils can really get painful.
